Work on the flare
Arrive slow and the sink rate at the threshold is already above schedule, the flare is short because there is no energy to extend it, and the touchdown is hard in a way that feels exactly like a late flare. Diagnosing a slow arrival as a late flare is the catastrophic misread: you respond by flaring earlier, which bleeds more speed, which makes the next one worse. The tiebreaker is threshold speed against VRef, not feel. Never diagnose a flare without it.

One stabilised approach gate: five checks where the approach path is 500 ft above the runway. The 1,000 ft gate was not assessed, because the approach did not join final that far out.
Side view — the last 2,044 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 2,044 m of the 4,019 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 833 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking to the runway, which took 9 minutes and covered a distance of 3 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 777-300, then departed from runway 02C at Singapore Changi Airport (WSSS). The takeoff distance was 963 meters, which accounted for 24% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 170 knots.
As the aircraft took to the skies, it encountered local weather conditions with a temperature of 31 degrees Celsius and winds blowing at 5 knots from a direction of 180 degrees. The crosswind was 2 knots, while the tailwind was 4 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, which started overhead the airport and took it up to an altitude of 37,975 feet above sea level. This climb phase covered a distance of 119 nautical miles and took 17 minutes, with the aircraft increasing its altitude by 36,920 feet.
Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which lasted for 65 minutes and covered a distance of 523 nautical miles. This phase took place 12 miles south of Pekan, Malaysia. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, which started 54 miles south of Rayong, Thailand. During this phase, the aircraft descended from an altitude of 37,134 feet to 1,287 feet above sea level, a decrease of 35,847 feet, in 20 minutes and covering a distance of 115 nautical miles.
As the aircraft approached its destination, it began its final approach to runway 01R at Suvarnabhumi Airport (VTBS). The approach was made from the south, with the aircraft heading at 14.0 degrees and at an altitude of 1,270 feet above ground level. The aircraft landed on the runway, which had a length of 4,019 meters. The threshold height was above the target, but the threshold speed was good at 142 knots. The touchdown point was 424 meters beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 131 knots, which was good. However, the touchdown rate was fair at -217 feet per minute.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 32 degrees Celsius and winds blowing at 1 knot from a direction of 360 degrees. The crosswind was 0 knots, while the headwind was 1 knot. The total landing distance was 1,970 meters, which accounted for 49% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was perfect. After landing, the aircraft took 4 minutes to taxi to the parking, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 768 nautical miles, and the flight used 13,134 kilograms of fuel.
The Boeing 777-300 aircraft successfully landed at Suvarnabhumi Airport, with a final approach score of 90.8%. The aircraft was approaching runway 01R from the south, heading 14.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,270 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot's performance during the final approach was satisfactory, with a good threshold speed of 142 knots.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down 424 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which is a relatively long distance. However, the touchdown speed of 131 knots was within the acceptable range, indicating that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft during the landing. The touchdown rate of -217 feet per minute (fpm) was fair, suggesting that the pilot could have managed the descent more smoothly.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 32°C and a light headwind of 1 knot from 360°. There was no crosswind, which made the landing process easier. The runway length of 4,019 meters was sufficient for the aircraft to land safely, and the pilot's ability to align the aircraft with the runway during rollout was perfect.
The total landing distance of 1,970 meters was 49% of the runway length, which is a relatively long distance. However, this can be attributed to the aircraft's size and weight, as well as the pilot's decision to touch down beyond the touchdown zone. Overall, the landing was successful, and the pilot's performance was satisfactory, considering the aircraft's size and the weather conditions.
